Five countries have already issued travel warnings about coming to the U.S. Canada, Britain, Germany, Denmark, Finland. Crashing out the airlines and tourism industry. One day at a time. On whimsical moments. Effecting jobs & business. Tourism in Northeast U.S. by Canada has crashed to all time low.
not trying to turn this into some kind of horror contest
but IMHO this is way way WAY worse where people are being disappeared to that El Salvador torture prison
and might never get out
AND they are NOT criminals or gang members
just were seeking asylum for human rights https://bsky.app/profile/jennycohn.bsky.social/post/3lkym6zmn4k2l
And this is why countries are now issuing travel warnings to avoid the US. So far the UK, Germany, Canada, and now Finland and Denmark. The #TurdReich is already starting to negatively impact our tourism industry. Four more yrs of this? Yipes.
There’s a real problem with comic sands stories. The sheer number of pop-ups and scrolling to find a bit of text, then scrolling again, which initiates some ad you didn’t click on. After about 5 minutes, I gave up trying to read this story. Perhaps fewer ads? Please?
One main goal of this “Administration” is for everyone to fear them. Like typical bully thugs they think if people are fearful they will stay in line and be silent.
I’ll never fear them but I will always despise them.
It’s all about the $$ for these fuckers. They get paid by the number and the number of days held. Two corporations have made $538M and over $700M from federal contracts.
ICE can and has been successfully sued, and with the amount of abuse out there, a class action lawsuit could also be appropriate. It's OUR fault. Even if we individually voted against Trump, collectively we elected him. American taxpayers should therefore have to pay out vast sums in recompense.
I thought that Bec Hill had a bad experience. She's an Australian comedian and writer who does a podcast called A Problem Squared. I wish I could link that, but it would take me a while to find it.
Basically, the people working there enjoyed detaining people while not telling them. Disgusting.
No Shit! After these ICE episodes, Canadians don't want to travel to the US any longer, fearing imprisonment, if their "papers are not in order" It's not just the tariffs. Trump is trying to turn Canada into an enemy of the USA. And this is frightening since it means he wants to invade our country.
What I heard is that’s he applied for a business visa that was approved. Upon arrival at LAX it was discovered that her business is a THC business and she was denied entry. She then travelled to Tijuana and tried to enter again into San Diego. I don’t think this was just an arbitrary detention.
All that reminds of the 1933 NSDAP overtake in Germany. Seriously, take care, they are fast and once all is installed: We all know how hard it is, to get away from that.
Ask countries to demand a venue change for the World Cup! Boycott U.S.A. from hosting this event. Don't allow a country ruining the World to host something that brings the world together!
WOULDN'T IT BE SWEET TO SEE CANADA AND MEXICO HOST IT, AND NOT THE U.S.!
Los Angeles is supposed to host the Olympics in 2028. We should ask the International Olympic Committee to use LA games as leverage to make USA live up to spirit & values of the Olympic Games right now! Here's the link to contact IOC:
America’s economy is going to collapse. 🍊regime destroying our way of life by isolating us and deporting labor force. First states will go bankrupt then federal government and the product boycotts will close companies and layoffs will occur. All ripple effects. Get ready to be poor!
If they did that a young white woman, imagine what they are doing to non-whites they arrested. There is a certain type of manifestation of evil slowly growing in our country. We must not shy away from confronting it otherwise we all will fall victim to its sordidness.
If an American was treated this way by another country, America would be up in arms. America is bringing the world together with a common enemy. Way to go!
There are countries, like Iran, Canadians are warned not to travel to. Canadians have been tortured and killed in Iran. There is a danger is travelling to the USA of being imprisoned wrongly and possibly deported to a place, you should not be.
We understand that not everyone voted for him, but the vast majority of Americans either voted for him, or didn't care enough to vote. So my wife and I will never be back, and we try to NOT buy any American product or service. You have allowed him to make us the enemy, and the enemy we will remain.
Canadians should continue to boycott and TBH I think y'all should work with allies to arrest musk if he enters airspace.
That said, the vote misinformation really needs to stop. He got 49.9% of the popular vote and that's after severe election interference. Please stop saying 'majority'.
Some people born before Germany was ruled by Nazis are still alive nowadays, and Germany has more or less friendly relationships with some of the neighbouring countries that it invaded back then. The damage was permanent, but did not prevent some kind of reconciliation.
Whenever we claw out of this deep, dangerous pit (which was marked "DEEP DANGEROUS PIT" & located in Deep Dangerous Pit Nat'l Park, who could have known? 😂)...
I hope our longtime allies say "this time, no resumption of niceties until what happened is made impossible via legislation."
They started with brown people and now they are testing the waters with white people to see how far they can go. And it all gets normalized until trump moves on to his next target, which will be US born American citizens. Don't think for one second it can't happen because it's already starting to.
Not alarming.
US is running concentration camps and people are disappearing as if they are in a Stalin's Russia.
So, it is incredibly past being alarming.
absolutely abhorrent story . Hate to make assumptions but if she had already been told at a previous point of entry to not play fast and loose with the rules then went ahead and played fast and loose with said rules
It comes as an unsurprising overreaction from the infamous draconian American immigration officers . One can almost surmise a bit of the ol’ white privilege , because someone with a browner complexion wouldn’t have dreamed of doing the loophole stunt she pulled by driving in from Mexico.
Don’t @ me , it’s the truth . Maybe it’s the centuries‘ old history of friendship between the two countries , but I find a lot of my fairier skinned fellow Canadians have a sense of entitlement when it comes to how and when they can enter the US, forgetting it’s a different country .
About 2 months ago I told my family I can't travel to the US because of my activism around Palestine. They told me I was overreacting. Then the tariff/trade war began. Now Canadians are being held in detention centers.
I saw this coming because they have the AI capacities to make it systemic/easy.
They did tell her. And they knew they made a mistake. Even the guards were saying she shouldn't be there. Fact remains, she's the only Canadian I'm aware of that was treated like this. I've seen plenty of others say crossing hasn't changed. It was normal process when I went through YVR last month.
If it is a government-funded business, of course they will detain people in increasing numbers and for increasing lengths of time. If there is no one to oversee the detentions, lawyers or courts, what obstacles are there?
What about those detained without access to lawyers, family or legal counsel?
Oooh!! I haven't heard anyone point THIS out, impacts on the Canadian TV and movie industry is going to affect Americans more than they imagined would happen! 🤔😳
Had half planned to go to Vancouver in November via NY, Chicago & Seattle; now think I’ll go via Québec & Montreal…
Can’t risk entering & leaving the US
ICE rank-and-file have quotas. Quota pressure comes from two sources:
- the private prison industry, who lobbies for immigration detention,
- the higher-up political appointees who are trying to put up larger deportation numbers.
ICE has now illegally detained a German, French & 2 Canadian citizens that I've seen reported. I have no doubt there are more.
It is alarming & scary. Those people were not dissidents.
WHEN WILL THEY BE COMING FOR US? Show your alarm, outrage, whatever on 4/5/2025.
Isn't one German woman still in detention from her arrest in Dec. Her visa had expired, she had a flight booked back to Germany. By detaining her, ICE caused her to miss the flight. As she then didn't have a flight booked, they have continued to hold her.
I think whats worst though is that these cases get all that attention, because it‘s white Europeans. I‘m sure others are kept much longer with nobody reporting. Still probably good to get many detailed reports about the nepotism and cruel methods from foreign press this way.
The depth of dishonor of the current POTUS, VP and minions has no bottom. A stain on their honor, their families, their party, their communities and our nation. What does it say about us that we elected a convicted felon with a lifetime record of dishonor, bankruptcies and failed relationships. sad!
It's only the begining : perfect fascist authoritarian method and no one lift a finger to help. We shall soon see US intellectuals & artists & ordinary citizens beaten and jailed bc of their opinion ➡️ #politicalprisoner

Just a reminder that a majority of Americans did NOT vote for Trump. Pls look into Greg Palast’s coverage of this, as well as “electoral college” & “citizens United” ruling. Brown undocumented migrant works & some legal green card holders have been detained for weeks in private prisons.
I get that fully and don't blame 50% of you but I feel the USA is not a good place to visit at this moment.
I wish you all the best in your struggle but worry you may not be able to get this bad genie back into the bottle.
This will be/ is our problem as well unfortunately
(Less than 50% actually.
Check out Greg Palast’s reporting “Trump Lost…Vote Supression Won”; not the only piece of the puzzle of course but a very large and important one.)
💯 re not visiting! I won’t be going to visit my family in 🇨🇦 anytime sooon… too scared they won’t let me back in, or worse. 😬
I included all those who couldn't be arsed to vote and those who wanted to punish Dems for Gazza.
Hopefully the Grim reaper comes to rescue us all, one more Big Mac might do it
Did u read GregPalast reporting? Sounds like you might be wanting to continue to be mad at individuals instead of looking at bigger systems and longer running forces at play.
Blaming individuals & their “choices” makes a person part of the problem, regardless of intentions.
Do you think it would go anywhere? Have you paid a lawyer $300 an hour to try and sue someone?
Trump and musk are experts at dragging out cases until people give up or run out of money.
The US court system is all setup for the advantage of the rich.
Just leaving these screen grabs & a link to a perplexity research thread here so that anyone disgusted by privatized incarceration/detention can #votewithdollars #divestment #divest #mutualfunds
This is exactly what happened in the 1930s in nazi Germany.
The next step will be concentration camps starting abroad like now El Salvador.
The final step will be death camps.
Thank you for sharing. I have numerous immigrant family members
& friends. I’m forwarding on to all of them in hopes that it raises their awareness and they take any steps they deem appropriate to be prepared for ICE.
That breaks my heart to read it... At the moment, there are countless people being detained in the US for no reason... living in really bad conditions and feeling scared of not knowing what's coming. :(
Yes. And just read in Estonian media: a 16 year schoolgirl blew up a russian occupiers war monument in 1946. Good for her. But she got 10 years hard labour in Siberia. What’s stopping Trump from selling these poor people to Putin. I’v been feeling sick to my stomach for days.
This is why I actively discourage Canadians from showing too much empathy and sympathy toward america, nothing changed in their perception of us as 2nd rate humans
People are going to stop visiting America. More and more Americans are afraid to leave for fear they will be refused entry upon return. What will America look like as it breaks down over the next 4 years? Or, has it already happened and now we are in the 2nd Era of Reconstruction?
My good Australian friend works in the travel industry, and their business has plummeted, both to and from the US. No one wants to be exposed to this Nazi shit.
Why anyone would risk entering the U.S. right now for anything but essential reasons is beyond me. It's not worth the chance of being harassed, detained — or even worse — jailed for no reason.
If I HAD to cross the border, my phone would be password-locked (no fingerprint or retina scan) and I'd be logged out of all of my social media accounts.
Better yet, I'd delete those apps off my phone; they can always be reinstalled and logged back into after successful entry.
Exactly! I'm taking my first ever overseas vacation in three months, wondering if I'm going to get back in the country okay. Spoke with someone today that is about ready to move his whole family - spouse, children and spouses, and grandchildren, to Canada or elsewhere.
In the constitution of Germany there is an article which grants all citizens the right to resistance if anyone attempts to abolish the contstitutional order if no other remedy is possible.
Since Trump ignores court rulings, I think in Germany this would qualify as such an attempt.
The cruelty is a feature, not a bug. I am guessing the was a lot of panic to get her out of there as she has more of a voice and mire reach the all the other detainees (political prisoners) have.
Very disbursing. More so was Holman on ABC this AM. Takes title “Border Czar” literally. Seems he feels accountable to no one. Despite lip service, little regard for judicial sys & due process. If ICE said they are gang members-case closed; judge & jury; arrest & deport w/o a trace. Police State!
No wonder most people wouldn’t consider going back there any time soon
The country is one unholy mess and it’s not safe for their own citizens never mind anyone else !!!
Speaking of someone who lives in a town in said county with an economy that's almost entirely tourism & will be harmed by large swaths of the world staying away:
Don't come. There isn't a single person here or in your country of origin who can guarantee your safety. You won't know till too late.
How long before they start jailing those whose parents were not from america, this really concerns me the big orange baby trump needs to be stopped & those who are with him sent to prison with him
Canadians were already boycotting US Made products/produce & canceling US Travel Plans. This will just strengthen the boycott. Many other MORE desirable places in the World to travel to with our Tourist $$ where we'll be safe & welcomed but where US Citizens may find travel more difficult to.
I first of all would not call her a star of American Pie she was on the Eugene Levy staring American Pie Presents: The Book of Love and was 20th on the IMDB cast list. Secondly her green card was revoked and she re-entered the US to see her lawyer. Sadly this is against the law of the US.
She needs to sue the government (I know we’ll have to pay it but still) for the pain and suffering ICE caused. FYI there is going to be hundreds of lawsuits against the US government because of the Orange Narcissist.
A gay man, a barber, was taken in by ICE to an El Salvador concentration camp.
I don't know what's happened to him, or to all the other innocents trapped in that purge.
I cannot believe this is my country.
The point it is: it's entirely believable. We've seen this before and it's happening again: salami slices of National Socialism are being fed to Americans.
Private prisons need prisoners to keep profits up.
Even those who have business or tourist visas, instead of just being refused entry and returned on the next flight. They are being treated as criminals and held in prisons for weeks.
They're making examples of a few to send a larger message to others to duck & cover and do not make trouble or criticize this administration or this can happen to you.
ICE has been a terrorist organization for a long time, kept behind a curtain of media indifference - now they're being celebrated and empowered by the creepy haters that have taken the nation. They - and several other enforcement agencies unrestrained by the Bill of Rights - should be abolished.
Comments
People should even avoid flights that could potentially be diverted to US airports in emergencies - check the routes.
but IMHO this is way way WAY worse where people are being disappeared to that El Salvador torture prison
and might never get out
AND they are NOT criminals or gang members
just were seeking asylum for human rights
https://bsky.app/profile/jennycohn.bsky.social/post/3lkym6zmn4k2l
4000 detainees in a complex meant for 500 in #Miami
1 glass of water every 24 hours.
3 migrants dead.
These are NOT criminals.
They're LEGAL Green Card holders.
Federal agents and human rights lawyers denied access to check for violations in facility.
I’ll never fear them but I will always despise them.
Basically, the people working there enjoyed detaining people while not telling them. Disgusting.
You’re not immune!

It’s terrifying. It will certainly only increase the # of Canadians 🇨🇦 making the decision to not cross the border.
And their abuser blames them.
"🤬 See what you made me do to you?!"
MAGA will demand "disappearing" those who openly dissent, because 🤫 - maybe then he'll stop hurting us.
Tyranny requires compliance.
She is getting offers from the airline and from the hotels for 2 for 1 flights and 4 free nights, food credits...
She knows I won't go.
I don't have the heart to tell her I probably can't cross the border safely with my social media posts ...
Removing a tinfoil hat....
If I knew he'd do this why didn't the majority of Americans?
